dc.description.abstract | What is culturally informed psychiatry? What does it mean, and why is it
important? These questions are discussed with a focus on the cultural aspects of the
clinical encounter. The DSM-5
Outline for Cultural Formulation
was developed as a
method of assessing the cultural factors affecting the clinical encounter. It calls for the
assessment of the cultural features of the relationship between the patient and the
clinician; however, there is a lack of debate about what this means in practice.
Clinicians run the risk of withdrawal rather than cultural understanding when facing
patients with different cultural backgrounds. Using ethnographic material from
anthropological fieldwork, I suggest that the encounter with cultural differences could
be a useful point of departure for the clinician to develop cultural understanding. It is
argued that recognising the experiences of differences is crucial in strengthening
transcultural communication and preventing misdiagnosis in the clinician
